Wood Buffalo crime overview
Essay updated 2026-10-13 · figures above are from the latest data
TL;DR. Wood Buffalo recorded 128 incidents in September 2026, according to the RCMP K-Division open feed, which covers property offences only. For 2026 year-to-date through September, Theft leads with 311 incidents (34.9%), followed by Mischief at 179. The September total is a calendar-month count, not a full-year total, and person crimes such as assault are not published on this map layer.
About this data
This page summarizes reported property crime in Wood Buffalo, Alberta, for September 2026, when the open feed recorded 128 incidents for that calendar month. The figures come from RCMP K-Division public point data attributed to the Wood Buffalo census subdivision. The open layer publishes property offences only — break and enter, theft, auto theft, theft from vehicle and mischief — while assault, robbery, homicide and other person crimes are not included on this feed.
Use the September total to track month-to-month volume across Wood Buffalo, separate from the interactive map's rolling view. The map shows 236 incidents over the most recent 60 days, a different window from the September calendar-month total. Category breakdowns on this page reflect the 2026 year-to-date mix through September, not just September, helping neighbours compare which property offences appear most often in the open feed.
Recent trend
Year-over-year change is not available for September 2026 because the year series contains only 2026, with 892 dated incidents, so there is no complete prior year to compare. The full-archive series likewise lists 2026 with 922 incidents, leaving no complete-year pair for a calendar-year comparison. The September headline of 128 incidents therefore stands as a monthly count within an incomplete 2026 record running from March 17 to October 6, rather than part of an annual trend. Additional months of published data will be needed before a meaningful year-over-year comparison can be shown.
Category breakdown
The 2026 year-to-date mix through September, totalling 892 dated incidents, is led by Theft with 311 incidents, or 34.9%. Mischief follows with 179 incidents, or 20.1%, while Theft from vehicle accounts for 161 incidents, or 18%. Beyond the top three, Auto theft recorded 132 incidents, or 14.8%, and Break and enter recorded 109 incidents, or 12.2%. All five published categories are property offences, consistent with the RCMP K-Division layer for Wood Buffalo, which does not publish assault, robbery or other person crimes. The ordering shows theft-related entries ahead of mischief and break and enter for the year to date in this feed.
What this means
What stands out for Wood Buffalo is how theft-centred the 2026 year-to-date record remains, with Theft at 311 incidents, or 34.9%, plus Theft from vehicle at 161 and Auto theft at 132. September itself contributed 128 incidents to that year-to-date total of 892 dated incidents. Because this RCMP K-Division feed publishes property offences only, the absence of assault or robbery counts reflects coverage, not absence of those crimes. With only 2026 published, readers can track monthly volume but cannot yet judge an annual trend.
FAQ
How many incidents were reported in Wood Buffalo in September 2026?
Wood Buffalo recorded 128 incidents in September 2026, the last complete calendar month with published counts. That monthly figure is separate from the 892 dated incidents logged in 2026 year-to-date through September, and from the 236 incidents shown in the interactive map's 60-day rolling window. The open feed for this period covers property offences only, published through the RCMP K-Division layer.
What was the most commonly reported incident type in Wood Buffalo this year?
Theft was the leading category in the 2026 year-to-date mix through September, with 311 incidents representing 34.9% of the dated total. Mischief followed with 179 incidents at 20.1%. These category counts describe the 2026 year-to-date period, not just the 128 incidents in September 2026 alone. The feed covers property offences only, with person crimes not published on this layer.
Are incidents in Wood Buffalo trending up or down compared with last year?
Year-over-year change is not available for this period because the archive series contains only 2026, with 892 dated incidents in the year series and 922 incidents in the full on-disk archive for 2026. September 2026 contributed 128 incidents to that year-to-date picture. A second complete calendar year would be needed to calculate a comparable annual change.
Which neighbourhoods in Wood Buffalo had the most incidents?
Neighbourhood breakdowns are not available for this source, so a neighbourhood ranking cannot be shown for the 128 incidents in September 2026. The RCMP K-Division public point layer used here is attributed to the Wood Buffalo census subdivision rather than sub-neighbourhood areas. Use the interactive map points for September 2026 and the 2026 year-to-date total of 892 to explore locations.
Where does the Wood Buffalo data come from?
Figures come from RCMP K-Division open data, spatially attributed to the Wood Buffalo census subdivision in Alberta. The published layer covers property offences only, including theft with 311 incidents and mischief with 179 incidents in the 2026 year-to-date mix. Assault, robbery, homicide and other person crimes are not on this open feed, so absence from the map is not evidence they did not occur.
How current is the Wood Buffalo data on this page?
The headline figure of 128 incidents covers September 2026, the last complete calendar month with published counts. Open records in the extract run from 17 March 2026 to 6 October 2026. The interactive map uses a separate 60-day rolling window with 236 incidents, so its total differs from the monthly headline and the 892-incident 2026 year-to-date series.
